         3 . The method to make the fastener-less single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each modular columbarium housing comprises:
 (i) a plurality of solid vertical walls;   (ii) a plurality of aligned horizontal bases connected between pairs of solid vertical walls defining a plurality of identical depth niches;   (iii) a top plate connected over the plurality of solid vertical walls;   (iv) a bottom plate connected over the plurality of vertical walls at an end opposite a top plate;   (v) a first side connected over an first end of the aligned horizontal bases; and   (vi) a second side connected over a second end of the aligned horizontal bases opposite the first end of the aligned horizontal bases.   
     
     
         4 . The method to make the fastener-less single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium assembly of  claim 1  comprising a plurality of single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium wherein the single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium contain identical single depth niches or identical double depth niches but different quantities of niches. 
     
     
         5 . The method to make the fastener-less single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium assembly of  claim 1  comprising a plurality of connected single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium, wherein each single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium contains identical single depth niches or identical double depth niches but different quantities of niches. 
     
     
         6 . The method to make the fastener-less single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium assembly of  claim 1  wherein a first group of single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium having the same depth niches with different quantities of niches in each single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium of the first group, placed back to back with a second group of single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium having same depth niches, but different depth niches from the first group of single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium and with different quantities of niches in each single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium of the second group. 
     
     
         7 . The method to make the fastener-less single door multi-niche dual locking modular columbarium assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the solid vertical walls and aligned horizontal bases is comprised of steel.
